Understanding Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last set of teeth to grow. They usually make their appearance in our late teens or early twenties. However, due to evolutionary changes, many of us lack enough room in our mouth for these late bloomers, leading to discomfort, pain, or serious complications. That's where Dr. Ummareddy's and Dr. Gundarpi's expertise in wisdom teeth removal comes into play.

When Is Wisdom Teeth Removal Necessary?
Wisdom teeth removal becomes necessary when the teeth do not have enough room to grow properly. When they are unable to emerge normally, they become 'impacted.' Impacted wisdom teeth can cause numerous problems, such as:
- Pain
- Infection
- Damage to adjacent teeth
- Formation of cysts around the new teeth
- Disruption of orthodontic or natural teeth alignment
Regular check-ups at Arlington Dental Clinic can help identify the need for wisdom teeth removal in Arlington, TX. Dr. Ummareddy and Dr. Gundarpi will use the latest dental imaging technology to clearly understand your oral condition and provide the best possible advice.

Frequently Asked Questions about Wisdom Teeth Removal
We understand you might have several questions about wisdom teeth removal in Arlington, TX. Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive at Arlington Dental Clinic.
Q1: Is wisdom teeth removal always necessary?
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. If these teeth grow in fully, line up correctly, and can be cleaned as part of daily hygiene practices, they may not need to be removed. Dr. Ummareddy will conduct a thorough examination and advise whether extraction is necessary in your case.
Q2: What is an impacted wisdom tooth?
An impacted wisdom tooth is one that has not grown in properly, usually due to lack of space. It can grow at an angle towards the second molar, towards the back of the mouth, or could be trapped within the jawbone or gums, causing discomfort and potential complications.
Q3: What is the recovery time after wisdom teeth removal?
Everyone's recovery time varies, but most people fully recover within one to two weeks. Swelling and discomfort usually lessen within three days. Dr. Ummareddy will provide specific post-operative instructions, which can greatly aid your recovery process.
Q4: What should I eat after wisdom teeth removal?
After the procedure, it's best to stick to soft foods like yogurt, pudding, and applesauce. Gradually, you can start reintroducing solid foods into your diet as your comfort allows. Avoid hot, spicy, crunchy, or hard foods that could irritate the surgical area.
Q5: Are there risks associated with wisdom teeth removal?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved. However, these risks are relatively low. Dr. Ummareddy will explain potential complications such as dry socket, infection, or numbness due to nerve damage. Rest assured, his expert hands and meticulous approach greatly minimize these risks.
Q6: Does insurance cover wisdom teeth removal?
Most dental insurance plans partially cover wisdom teeth removal. We recommend checking with your insurance provider for specifics. Our office is also happy to assist with insurance queries and provide you with a cost estimate before the procedure.
